com.sun.identity.wss.provider

com.sun.identity.wss.provider provides administrative interfaces for configuration of the WSC and WSP with their respective security mechanisms and Security Token Service configuration. They are called by the security agent during run time, and also by applications that would like to secure messages. On the WSC side, they are called to secure the web service request and to validate any response from the WSP. Similarly, there are interfaces for this functionality on the WSP side. When a WSC is configured to communicate with the Security Token Service, security mechanisms and security tokens would be obtained from it. When a WSP is configured to communicate with the Security Token Service, its resource offering would be published at the Security Token Service.

A WSC and a WSP can be associated with more than one Security Token Service.
